they should be burned occasionally as
that they should not be consumed by fire
more often. They Magyar is not in
reality the semi-Oriental cavalier he is
sometim es imagined to be. But he does
keep at least one memorial of the fact
that he is the son of ArPad. His village
has been compared to the camp of a reg
iment of light cavalry. Itconsists of two
immence rows of wooden huts, planted
side by side, perhaps for miles; for some
of these Alfold villages contain 10000 or
10000 people. The tarred and painted
cottages, thatched with straw and baked
by the fierce Summer sun of the great
